Wells Fargo Is In XRP. XRP Holders Need to See This

Wells Fargo manages $2.1 trillion in total assets and $2.5 trillion in client assets. Its Q2 2026 13F-HR, filed with the SEC on August 14 and covering the period ending June 30, shows approximately $9.18 million in Bitwise XRP ETF exposure.

Crypto commentator Xaif shared the filing details, highlighting two separate positions of $1.39 million and $7.79 million, both listed under the Bitwise XRP ETF.

The Scale of This Disclosure

Wells Fargo is not a boutique asset manager or a mid-size hedge fund. It is one of the four largest banks in the U.S. A disclosure at this scale carries institutional weight that smaller filings do not. Xaif noted that “a bank of this scale disclosing millions in XRP ETF exposure is worth watching.”

The two separate line items of $1.39 million and $7.79 million suggest the positions sit across different accounts or fund structures within Wells Fargo’s reporting entity. Both entries reference the same CUSIP, confirming both point to the Bitwise XRP ETF.

Where This Fits in the 2026 Filing Cycle

Wells Fargo’s disclosure arrives during a period when institutional XRP filings have accumulated steadily. Citadel disclosed call options on the Canary XRP ETF earlier in 2026, having closed its put positions entirely.

Gallacher Capital Management reported 86,744 shares in the same XRP ETF at $961,126 in its own Q2 13F filing. Bank of Montreal recently filed its Q2 13F, adding a major Canadian commercial bank to the disclosure record.

Why the Bitwise Product Appears Again

The Bitwise XRP ETF has appeared in multiple institutional filings in 2026. Militia Capital Management filed an amended 13F disclosing 31,820 shares of the same product. Wells Fargo now holds approximately $9.18 million across two positions in that same ETF, and attention to the product is growing.

A Record That Continues to Expand

The Q2 2026 13F cycle has added more institutional names to the XRP disclosure record than any prior quarter. The filings use different forms with different product structures and account types, showing XRP’s deep institutional reach.

Wells Fargo’s $9.18 million across two Bitwise XRP ETF positions reflects that pattern. At $2.1 trillion in total assets, Wells Fargo is the largest institution to appear on that record so far, and the list continues to grow.
